All unPacked

Well we are all unpacked and the truck was taken away today. So far we have not found anything broken. We have not opened everything but looks good so far. Some stuff went straight from the truck to storage. Hopefully when we open those boxes all will be good. We have been pretty busy unpacking and moving things to the storage unit the last couple days.

I have also been applying at other places than the few places where my brother-in-law and his friend work at. I found two printing presses that do what I did when I worked at dingley press. So hopefully one of them will call me back. I sent them my resume today.

Today Leaha and I rested we didn't do to much. Though it was are first trip into Charlottesville by ourselves today. Horray we didn't get lost. Charlottesville is about 22 miles from the house. We just went into Target and PetSmart. We ate at pannera Bread company. It was good. Tonite Leaha is gone grocery shopping with her sister so I had some time to throw up this post. The post should get a little bit more frequent now that we are pretty much settled in.

There is a lot of jobs around here that are hiring for more than 12.00/hr. I'm going to concentrate on applying to all of them that I can tomorrow and Monday. I should see Eric this weekend too so he will let me know about a job where he works.

So far I like it down here . It is kinda weird seeing so many trees and none of them being pine trees though. All the red clay is a bit different too.

Well I guess that is good for today I will talk to you all later.

We Made It

Well we made it to Virginia. It was a very long drive but we are here. The first day we drove 9 hours to Middletown New York. We met up with our friend Lary and he took us out to dinner. That was great finally getting to meet him. Leaha has known Lary for as long if not a year or so longer than she has known me.

The drive was not to bad the only somewhat stressful part was driving through Hartford, CT.
and that was not to bad.

The second day of driving felt like we would never get finished driving through PA. I think it took us about 4 and a half hours to get through PA. After that It took us about 1 hour to get through Maralynd and West Virginia into Virginia. Once we got into Virginia it took us about 2 hours to get to Leaha's sisters house. We got here and started settling in around 3:30 on thursday.

Today we did a lot of errands like go to the grocery store and opened our checking and savings account. We also went to the career center for me and DHS for Leaha.

Our stuff is in Richmond right now and will be delivered to the house on Monday. I'm pretty excited about getting all our stuff so we can have some of the things we are already noticing we are wishing we had. :) But all has been good so far I will start in on the looking for work next week.

I guess that is about all I have right now I will post more in a few days.

Sat before we leave

Well I have a lot of stuff already sitting on the truck. It got here about 9am yesterday. At first glance it didn't look like the 8ft would cut it but now that so much stuff is on the truck it looks like the 8ft will be enough space. I hope so anyway but looks good right now.

Today we are going over to the Lynch's for a party. It is Rachel's b-day party and also a chance to see everyone before we leave. Everything is going pretty good right now. Not very much to post about because things have been just about the same since we finished packing the boxes. 

But just wanted to give a little update on how things are going. Leaha took some pictures the other day hopefully later today I can get some of those pictures to put up on here.
